Girls beginner to Mite (8U), we follow the USA Hockey ADM model within our Novice I, Novice II, Micron and Mite levels, which is a co-ed, small-group-station practice model.  At these levels [Novice/Beginner to Mite], we will be working to group the girls together on the ice during both practices and games. Our goal in doing this is to help encourage friendships and camaraderie specifically with our girls to help ensure they are having fun, all while learning hockey skills.
